Ensign Peak Hike

Interesting plaque I found directly south of the trail head across the street. It mentions Joel H. Johnson who wrote the lyrics to Hymn #5 High on a Mountain Top. Ensign Peak is the mountain it is referring to in the song. I had no idea until I saw this plaque.

Stitches of the top of Ensign Peak. The top one is looking south into the valley, while the bottom one is also looking to the west over the Great Salt Lake. You can see the airport, Antelope Island (which isn't an island due to how low the GSL is) and if you look at the far left of the image, you see downtown Salt Lake.
